APD's Impact On Speech Development And Reading Ability

Speech Development 


Several ENT physicians (including our founder, Alfred Tomatis) recognised the close connection between a person's ability to interpret sounds and their ability to speak. Just what the ears hear can be reproduced by speech. 

 

Sadly, hearing loss can cause the brain to perceive speech sounds very differently. We can now understand why people with APD struggle with proper articulation, slurring, odd accents, and other issues. Despite all the advancements in digital sound filtering, we are still a long way from being able to do that when the obstructions originate directly from the speaker's voice. 

 

Reading skills 

 

Another talent that heavily relies on auditory processing is the ability to read. Since the sounds linked with the letters are not always processed correctly, it is challenging to connect letters and words. 

 

For this reason, a lot of people link APD to dyslexia. It's also important to remember that even technological aids intended to help dyslexics communicate may not be effective if their brains have not developed the proper connections between a certain sound and a particular visual.

Delays in speech and language are frequent in early childhood. If a child is not meeting adequate developmental milestones for his or her age, they may have a speech or language delay. There are differences between speech and language delays, which are commonly confused and used interchangeably. What distinguishes speech delays from autism? Even before a youngster speaks his or her first words, typical childhood growth follows a similar pattern. Children begin experimenting with their voices when they are toddlers, making babbling and cooing sounds. They communicate their demands and build deep social ties via various nonverb...

Assessment of Sensitivity in Perceptual Processing

Image
 If you think you or someone you know may be sensitive to certain stimuli, you should talk to your doctor about your concerns. They can recommend a physician, psychologist, or occupational therapist who specialises in treating patients with sensory processing sensitivity to you or the patient. Medical practitioners use several methods to evaluate a patient's sensitivity to sensory processing. This usually involves looking at how a person's sensory-related behaviours affect their everyday functioning and that of their family. Interviews with the person's instructors or carers may be part of the evaluation process.  I was interviewing the subject. Their teachers conducted surveys on the subject's sensory-related behaviour. I am physically inspecting or observing anything. Should other concerns exist, a multidisciplinary team including diverse professionals might assess the individual. They could evaluate the person's capacity for focus and attention, learning, social ...
